A father of two young children is among the missing from the Cordoba train tragedy.
Agustin Fadon, 39, was working in the cafe of the doomed Renfe Alvia train when it collided with the derailed Iryo service near the town of Adamuz on Sunday evening.
According to witnesses, the Madrid native was heading to the toilet at the moment of impact.
‘Nobody has seen him, nobody knows anything… the wait is agonising,’ a loved one said.
His friend and colleague Rocio told Diario Sur: ‘What we can’t understand is why it’s so difficult to find out anything; he was in uniform, and the firefighters have already searched the restrooms, without finding him.’
Agustin’s sister and brother-in-law travelled to Adamuz to search every possible place for any information.
Rocio added: ‘This is causing them absolute despair; they don’t know where else to turn.
‘In these situations, you cling to any straw, but time passes, and this uncertainty only gets harder…
‘Agustín was too special a person to have to accept this.’
It has since transpired that Agustin survived a previous train tragedy in Angrois, Santiago de Compestola in 2013, which left 80 dead.
He escaped with his life after switching shifts with a colleague who perished in the disaster.
